Finally got to try this restaurant & it definitely surpassed our expectations. Fresh, high quality ingredients & bold, memorable flavours in every dish. It's a cozy, warm Italian vibe but at the same time feels elevated & worth your money, very far from a simple plate of pasta you can just make at home. We didn't get to try the cocktails or dessert but we will be back! I've already recommended this place to friends & family.

This is THE spot for classy & cozy dining. The staff was super friendly & gave us great recommendations! Dozens of Campari cocktails to choose from - I was pleasantly surprised by the Negroni Svegliato with coffee. We shared every dish we ordered (& we ordered a LOT) & everything was excellently prepared. The standouts of the night were the bruschetta with n'duja - a spicy sausage I'd never tried before, the lamb pasta, & the STEAK. Plus, the sheer variety of pasta shapes was mesmerizing to behold! Make sure you've got plenty of focaccia to soak up all the tasty leftover goop. & for dessert, you really have to try the pistachio-encrusted ice cream, it's the perfect finale to a memorable meal. Great spot for a date, or ideally a double- or triple-date so you can try more dishes!!!

Excellent meal from start to finish. Service was attentive & very helpful, with great recommendations. Every dish was delicious, highly recommend the bruschetta & the creste with lamb. Lots of different cocktail options, extensive Campari & Amaro selection. We'll definitely be back!
